In Person Therapists in Kennebunk, ME

Established Practice in Maine 2017. Life events can cause us to experience a variety of feelings such as anxiety, uncertainty, sadness, frustration, anger and even hopelessness. Stress impacts our relationships, work, financial well being, and families. There are chapters in everyone's life that are overwhelming and during these times it is wise and healthy to process with someone who is objective and understanding. Counseling can assist us in becoming unstuck. Sometimes short term intervention is all that is needed. Call to schedule an appointment.

Therapy can provide children a safe and supportive way to learn to identify and express their experiences and feelings; and make progress with social integration, growth, and development. They can develop skills to understand and work through psychosocial challenges. They have the opportunity to gain self-awareness and experience social and emotional success. Creating happiness is what parents strive for when raising children. In my practice, children will learn to identify their strengths, and become more skilled and confident in working through emotional stressors and skill deficits.

Given the many challenges that life can hand us, it's easy to lose hope or feel overwhelmed. You are not alone. All too often our minds begin to take over filling our head with old messages that no longer serve us. Perhaps we are judging ourselves too harshly or feeling guilty for things that are out of our hands. Perhaps our heart is burdened with feelings of depression or anxiety. By exploring the importance of grounding ourselves in the present and practicing an awareness of being mindful, we can change our life patterns finding the inner peace that we strive for. Working together we can find hope in the present moment.

Congratulations on having the courage to change and to ask for help. Life can be a stressful process for all of us. Sometimes we feel alone and afraid and wish we had someone to talk to outside of our immediate family and friends. Perhaps we've tried the same behaviors over and over and wonder why we don't have different results. It can be very helpful to talk to someone who can look at our concerns and difficulties from a different perspective and shed new light. Once we feel deeply understood and become more mindful of our own values and beliefs, we are able to try new healthier behaviors that help us get our needs met in life.

Currently, my primary work is with Individual Adults, in Kennebunk, Maine and Telehealth in Maine, Massachusetts and Florida. We all want to be happy. And many of us are happy much of the time as ordinary events pass through us without leaving a mark. And then, something happens and we're stuck. These events narrow our view of ourselves, our world and keep us from living to our full potential. Your problems affect who you are today and you want things to change. I can help you reduce what keeps you stuck so that you can move forward living your life in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

We have two available slots with Rachel or three low-cost slots available with our intern. Please inquire for more information. At Headwaters Wellness, my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental, laid-back environment where you can share your story and find ways to heal and move forward. I work together with adolescents, young adults, women, and their families, creatively and holistically. What is your story? Are you looking to get back to your true self or reach your potential? Do you need help rewriting your story or simply help to be more gentle with yourself? The best investment is in yourself.

Problem solving is a process and offering strategies, improved perspective and healthy coping skills are all part of this process. Do you find yourself asking why your children behave the way they do? Why they don't appear to listen? Why are you always repeating yourself? Do you find yourself often stressed or worried? Are there days you wonder why nothing seems to get done? Are you looking to better define yourself and your own goals, looking to improve your self-confidence and your relationships?

I believe we are all put here to fulfil the plans and purpose the Lord has for our lives. Sometimes along the way, we can get a little derailed or just not know how to quantify that. As we heal past hurts and areas of conflict, we can begin to dream again and find right where we need to be. It would be an honor to walk alongside you in your journey! I am an Ordained Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and a Certified Temperament Christian Counselor through the National Christian Counselors Association (NCCA).

I believe empowering patients is the most effective way to create sustainable change. I believe my role in our relationship is to support you in both personal and emotional growth, at your pace. To be a catalyst. The therapeutic relationship is imperative for this to occur. I love people, and feel honored and humbled by those who entrust me to work along side them.

It is natural to seek support when we feel overwhelmed, confused, fearful or depressed.The therapeutic process offers us the opportunity to build on skills that we already have in order to find relief, hope and healing. My work combines practices of narrative therapy (examining the beliefs we have about ourselves), cognitive behavioral work (paying attention to our thoughts), expressive therapy (healing through art and writing) and mindfulness exercises.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor[LCPC] and a Licenced Marriage and Family Therapist[LMFT] . I have worked in Kennebunk, Maine for 38 years helping individuals, couples and families identify, understand and transform their suffering. We first identify your goals and then look directly to the obstacles preventing you from reaching your goal. Therapy has begun!!

Life is complex. We could all benefit from dedicated time and space to check in with our own needs and goals. My goal as your therapist is to create a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space for you to explore and grow in where you feel truly seen & heard. You deserve space to process & heal. You are worthy of living a life that excites you. I'm here to be a consistent and present support on your journey to living a more empowered, authentic, and whole-hearted life.

I am currently practicing as an out-of-network provider. We all possess the ability to transform, whether it be through difficult circumstances, challenging relationships, life transitions, or mental health struggles. I work with clients experiencing life transitions, depression, anxiety, mood, and stress disorders. I also work with people affected by trauma using trauma-informed practices to understand how we process these experiences.

Sometimes in life you hit the bump in the road and need help to navigate in a new direction. Transitions are easier when you have support. This is true for adults, as well as children. Over the past 32 years I have helped many children,parents and adults become their best self by exploring what helps or hinders this process.
